Valentine’s Day has long been one of my favourite holidays. Originally as a child because it was about buying paper valentines for my classmates and getting chocolate from my mom. And then as an adult, for more “adult” reasons of course. It may be cheesy to some, but I love the idea of sharing love in special ways. From fancy boxes of chocolate, long stem red roses (a rekindled favourite), to bubbly with the one you love, there is something incredibly romantic about the 14th of February. But let’s be honest, it’s also about what happens behind closed doors. So ladies & gentlemen, let’s talk about sex.

I want to make this clear, that whatever you’re into when it comes to your sexuality and sex life, that you’re engaging in consensual sex only. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get to the good stuff!

While recently doing some “research” with the new BareSkin™ Condoms and Lubricantfrom Trojan™ Canada with my husband, I found myself identifying with their new campaign. Both cheeky, and just the right amount of playful, it speaks to the fact that this year they are encouraging us to reconnect with our lovers while we get closer than ever.

A 2016 survey revealed that gamers have more sex than any other “tribe” of men? * And that two-thirds of men compared to just 30 per cent of women say they’d rather have sex than get a gift*. Since Julio & I are avid gamers, I can only speak from experience – but they’re not wrong. Without compromising pleasure this Valentine’s Day, Trojan™ Canada is inviting you to ‘up your love game’by ditching the expensive gifts and dinners and instead get #BareSkinClose – BareSkin condoms are 40 per cent thinner than other Trojan Condoms and the NEW long-lasting BareSkin Lubricant means there’s no compromising pleasure.

So the question is, how do youplan to push all the right buttons this Valentine’s Day? To get you excited and sharing your best #BareSkinClose scenarios tastefully online, we’ve launched an exciting contest for one lucky Canadian to win!
